- â…” cup dry cake mix (Funfetti, yellow, or white)
- 3 oz bottle of rainbow sprinkles
Optional

Instructions
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a non-stick pan over low heat, melt the salted butter. Once fully melted, add the marshmallows and optional marshmallow creme. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
